Covid 19 situation now?

Roberb7 offers many great spots across Mexico.
I do want to strongly second his recommendation of Pátzcuaro, Michoacán about 120 miles south of GTO, 50 miles from lager city of Morelia. We spent several months renting on the lake and almost bought there.
smaller, 50k, more a regional hub, and not as dramatic as GTO and some colder in winter, still not “cold”,. It is the center of the ancient Purépecha culture still apparent in the faces, attire and stature of it’s indigenous residents. Wonderful woven skills both in wool and reeds from the lake. The Purépechas were the only peoples in central Mexico to repel Aztec invaders and remain a free people until Cortez. There is a large fortress/temple dating from 1400s, magnificent and unique in design outside the town, at opposite end of Lago Pátzcuaro, the home of the butterfly net native fisherman, who still practice the art early each morning.
A weekend will allow a decent impression.
In no way would I try to attract you away from GTO. However, many of us here like to keep this place as is and are not strongly promotional. Once here, you will quickly understand. sshhhhh
